Python - error - ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 6)

I am returning 6 values but getting the error - too many values to unpack def setOperation(seta, setb):

new_set_a = set(seta)
new_set_b = set(setb)
if len(new_set_b) < 10000 and len(new_set_b) < 10000:

    seta_union_setb = new_set_a.union(new_set_b)
    seta_union_setb_list = list(seta_union_setb)
    seta_union_setb_list.sort()
    return seta_union_setb_list

    seta_inter_setb = new_set_a.intersection(new_set_b)
    seta_inter_setb_list = list(seta_inter_setb)
    seta_inter_setb_list.sort()
    return seta_inter_setb_list

    seta_diff_setb = new_set_a.difference(new_set_b)
    seta_diff_setb_list = list(seta_diff_setb)
    seta_diff_setb_list.sort()
    return seta_diff_setb_list

    setb_diff_seta = new_set_b.difference(new_set_a)
    setb_diff_seta_list = list(setb_diff_seta)
    setb_diff_seta_list.sort()
    return setb_diff_seta_list

    seta_symm_setb = new_set_a.symmetry(new_set_b)
    seta_symm_setb_list = list(seta_symm_setb)
    seta_symm_setb_list.sort()
    return seta_symm_setb_list

    new_set_a_frozen = frozenset(new_set_a)
    return  new_set_a_frozen

un, int, diffa, diffb, sydiff, frset = setOperation(['apple', 'orange', 'grapes', 'mango', 'starfruit'],
                                                    ['papaya', 'mango', 'jackfruit', 'grapes', 'lichy'])

Can someone please help me identify why I am getting the following error - ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 6)

def setOperation(seta, setb):
    # Write your code here
    sa = set(seta)
    sb = set(setb)
    if len(sa) < 10000 and len(sb) < 10000:

        sa = set(seta)   # excluding list also will pass the result
        sb = set(setb)
        s1 = sa.union(sb)
        s2 = sa.intersection(sb)
        s3 = sa.difference(sb)
        s4 = sb.difference(sa)
        s5 = sa.symmetric_difference(sb)
        x = frozenset(seta)
        return (s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, x)

The error is you are returning from the function too early. Remove the various returns and make only one return at the end of the function.

For example:

def setOperation(seta, setb):

    new_set_a = set(seta)
    new_set_b = set(setb)
    if len(new_set_b) < 10000 and len(new_set_b) < 10000:

        seta_union_setb = new_set_a.union(new_set_b)
        seta_union_setb_list = list(seta_union_setb)
        seta_union_setb_list.sort()

        seta_inter_setb = new_set_a.intersection(new_set_b)
        seta_inter_setb_list = list(seta_inter_setb)
        seta_inter_setb_list.sort()

        seta_diff_setb = new_set_a.difference(new_set_b)
        seta_diff_setb_list = list(seta_diff_setb)
        seta_diff_setb_list.sort()

        setb_diff_seta = new_set_b.difference(new_set_a)
        setb_diff_seta_list = list(setb_diff_seta)
        setb_diff_seta_list.sort()

        seta_symm_setb = new_set_a.symmetric_difference(new_set_b)  # <-- change to .symmetric_difference
        seta_symm_setb_list = list(seta_symm_setb)
        seta_symm_setb_list.sort()

        new_set_a_frozen = frozenset(new_set_a)

        return seta_union_setb, seta_inter_setb, seta_diff_setb, setb_diff_seta, seta_symm_setb, new_set_a_frozen

    raise Exception('Invalid paramters.') # <-- or return some other value

un, int, diffa, diffb, sydiff, frset = setOperation(['apple', 'orange', 'grapes', 'mango', 'starfruit'],
                                                    ['papaya', 'mango', 'jackfruit', 'grapes', 'lichy'])

print(un, int, diffa, diffb, sydiff, frset)

Prints:

{'grapes', 'orange', 'apple', 'starfruit', 'mango', 'jackfruit', 'lichy', 'papaya'} {'mango', 'grapes'} {'starfruit', 'orange', 'apple'} {'lichy', 'jackfruit', 'papaya'} {'starfruit', 'jackfruit', 'lichy', 'orange', 'papaya', 'apple'} frozenset({'starfruit', 'mango', 'grapes', 'orange', 'apple'})
